#MarathonMonday

61 days left till my first ever marathon and let me tell you I’m panicking. The first day of my running I couldn’t run and I pushed myself and I ran 10min and then I walked for 20 minutes. I kind of want to blame the weather and the conditions, but that’s just a lame excuse. The last run was on November 20th and it was 5km. I was lazy (running wise) and I haven’t run for more than 2 months! Now I’m running on a treadmill and will wait for ice to melt and I will run outside. Good thing I was doing HIIT and core strength during those two months, but overall I blame myself for neglecting my running. I was waiting for better conditions and I have never done that. I’m glad that I’m admitting to myself and not making up lame excuses.

Long story short, I know I have lots of work to do running wise and I can’t miss any workouts.

Feb 5th’s run was easy. I wasn’t struggling, I do think that 1st day I wasn’t prepared mentally and we all know that mental strength is as important. And I realized that I’m starting to hate listening to songs and I downloaded few audiobooks for my runs.

It will get better and I hope I will complete my marathon. I just need to stuck to my training and JUST DO IT!
